Running with Revenge

𝓭𝓲𝔁

"She's an angel,

My only angel."

Lace looks at the inside of Val's house in wonder. Her makeup was smudged but her eyes were glowing inside her circular glasses. On the ceiling of Val's house, there was a painting of The creation of Michelangelo, one of her favorite paintings ever. She had been inside the house before but she never noticed that. As Lace was wondering at the ceiling, Val looked down at her and smiled, she was happy. Good, she deserves to be happy he thought.

"Val? What are you and Lace doing here? Why isn't she ready yet? Why aren't you ready?" Max questioned him as Judy looked at Lace, who was still looking at the ceiling.

"I'll get her ready. We'll be ready in 40 minutes." He walks out and Lace starts to struggle in Val's arms. He looks down at her lovingly and the small girl in his arms starts to struggle again,

"Let me go." Lace gets plopped on the bed. Val gives her the dress and pushes her in the bathroom gently. The straps slip on to her petite shoulders as she struggles to zip the dress up.

"Hun, you done?" She gives up and opens the door to see Val clad in a suit with a single chain adorning the sides. Stop! Don't fall in love. She nods but hesitates.

"Turn around." She turns around and she hears the clicking of Val's shoes. She then feels his cold hands zipping up her dress. Val zips it up but kisses her shoulder,

"So pretty." He then sits her down at the table and pulls out makeup. It wasn't the cheap stuff, it was the stuff that her mom had and didn't let her touch. She looks up at him innocently, he notices and pecks her forehead. His hands start to braid her hair and he pulls out something running it through her hair. Both of them finish and Lace looks at her hair. It was chalked blue! She walks out the room with shoes in hand, She wouldn't risk her life over heels. Judy sits on the couch stunned, Dahlia said that Lace wouldn't be controlled but here she is, coming with Val to events she wouldn't come to usually.

The whole family plus Lace sat in their car with Val sitting with his one true love in the back.

"I have something for you, love," Val says and pulls out a choker with a pearl dangling from the chain. Lace smiles and puts it on her neck letting it catch the light.
